Don't hold your breath.

As someone who has designed optical components for the euorofighter helmet mounted display:
The technical problems are extraordinary.
Just getting the image the right luminnace and contrasty enough to be read over whatever is in the background of that part of the view.
Then there's keeping the image looking sharp enouugh to convey the data, as you eye is constantly refocussing which has to be dealt with.
Then there's the travel sickness feeling effect you get when things don't move in your line of sight when you move your head

Sound.
Safety,
Security.

and then getting it into a package that is cheapenough, robust enough etc.

Maybe you should help em out then Most of the stuff we use nowadays probably incited that expression - "don't hold your breath" - at some point. Friend of mine said we wouldn't see Live Streaming (let alone HD) in the next 10 yrs. That was 3 years ago.

Isn't it the nature of these things that the more popular the idea, and having provided a feasible if not finished example, often leads to faster development of that idea?

Not gonna start a new thread but I think this is appropriate in the context of things that have long been talked about but never become a reality. This flying car/bike looks like a pretty tasty example.

I want one. Enjoy!
